    First shakedown and I have a question about the fan clutch

    its been many years but I still recall a certain magazine article that talk about english cars sold in canada or north america (I forgot which two it was) and one particular car was 'badmouthed' with the like of "even if the vents are closed, as soon as it rains it will leak water down your legs...

    What have I done... Oshkosh P-19

    bit offtopic but if any of you are currently wanting another example of dual-power vehicles then try these https://i.ytimg.com/vi/lktS7t7vEMU/maxresdefault.jpg (could be a simple 4-inline engine for the tires but a big v8 for the blower part at times! heh. oh and some of these vehicles are...

    Adding Secondary Override Switch for Reverse Lights

    I may be overlooking something but I wonder why it couldn't simply be wired in parallel considering its the same battery and load at both ends but just two different mechanical actuations in the middle nevertheless? (that is if you put transmission in reverse and had the aux switch on at same...

    A little humor

    I'm not sure what to even say! (offtopic but certain fridges that can be set up for either directions, a few people have been silly with harmless pranking by either putting hinges and handle on the same side aka it still can be opened but not as simple as you would think or worser put upper...

    Who makes the best aftermarket Air conditioner for M 1008?

    just thought I'll mention this for the sake of it, turns out the name was dcairco and sure enough they do still have a lot of 24v alternator friendly single&split offerings, although I have to now note that the datasheets has been placed behind download 'logins' tho

    Who makes the best aftermarket Air conditioner for M 1008?

    @79Vette I had to wonder about that and rechecked, are you sure about 150a draw btw? I mean even a non-split a/c from truck/bus brands don't draw anywhere close to that much at all. webasto says that their bus-sized 14kw unit is like 12v/40a, and i can't seem to recall the right name for that...

    Who makes the best aftermarket Air conditioner for M 1008?

    somewhat related to a/c in here but i'll note that many 'sold as a chassis' vans in the last awhile often had a manual "high idle" pusbbutton on the dashboard which to its obvious cue holds the gas engine at over 1000 instead of around-700-or-so, sometimes its simply due to aux electrical loads...

    Post up those Point of View hood shots!

    @Another Ahab umm maybe military-grade coffee as the bickering bleeping "brass" always need too much of this stuff? (I know I'm being very silly about this hehehehe)

    My 1st "Non U.S." MV post!

    @Guyfang right had a bit of long day yesterday i didn't think they simply used the one same cab for all different variations of the build and @WillWagner interesting because i know quite a few trucks that had solid of a flat fender that didn't care for sitting/standing on it but i guess that...

    My 1st "Non U.S." MV post!

    I like that sort of front with the partial-wedge alike hood, whether the fenders are slight-curvy or "flat top to easily stand onto for some reason" i don't care about by then tbh heh and i'm just curious but..a shop truck..so what was the shotgunner(passenger) doing having an entire hatch...

    50/50 Diesel Gas Mix as Deuce Fuel?

    not to be rather a bit offtopic (nothing to do with gasoline that is) but I wonder how 'bad' a relatively small amount the usual heavily-processed oils you find in food store would be in a multifuel truck assuming the tank was already about half filled with really good stuff if not just simply...

    Air ride suspension

    @264charlie I haven't exactly seen a lot of everyday news (versus test drives near the workshop etc) but even although its a different category of suspension you could maybe nevertheless compare up to https://www.edisonmotors.ca/lseries as they apparently have choose to use this type...

    50/50 Diesel Gas Mix as Deuce Fuel?

    hey @G744 if you would like something very un-military different that literally ate through bunker-c oil like as if there was no tomorrow figuratively speaking then just look at this https://brasstrainmodels.com/images/UP_GTELs/UP_GTEL_8500hp-X1.jpg hehe! (as i recall refineries didn't really...

    50/50 Diesel Gas Mix as Deuce Fuel?

    I was a bit curious and went looking for a short time this slow morning now, theres seemingly a lot of posts about it (and you'll have t find the TM's for yourself if there was some) but feel free to start off with these two...

    Any projects in flight for small gun trucks? M-Gators, M37 replicas, Toyota technicals?

    nice photos all of this, and its been quite some time i had ever seen one of these weird-looking (compared to nearly anything else so say no more?) 4wd-plus-2more vehicle re @SgtMajHarper and hmm don't mind me but I can can't help wonder about mounting a big rifle onto the mule in a way that...

    If I had a Dollar for Every Time....

    btw I don't need a dollar for this as its not even my story in any way but..umm well..yeah..just go read this and don't look at me with that "what..the..heck!??" sour face afterward (and theres even at least one relationship to the military too as per this direct comment )

    @Mullaney are you laughing too much that your feet are sticking upward instead because the chair has flipped backward? heh!

    If I had a Dollar for Every Time....

    @Adrok got to love it when you run into someone who doesn't even need to physically look up at all if you know what i really meant there? even then umm well geeze yeah when you keep going back many to the same small food store (think just a few employees if not sometimes only one all day long)...
